Fitted with a new natural linen drum shade, new jute-wrapped cord, and fully rewired with a new socket. Can be fitted with a US or international plug of your choice.

What sets this lamp apart is the density and consistency of the surface work: small stylized leaf motifs are stamped across the entire body without interruption, edge to edge, a labor-intensive treatment that distinguishes this from the plainer glazed forms typical of the period. The deep brown glaze is equally considered — pooling richly in the recesses of the relief to create tonal contrast between dark mahogany and warm amber, with flashes of iridescence where the glaze thins on the lower body. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
